make any, unnecessary or tedious peram
bulation, but with full directions and a
few important remarks, he will leave the
medicine to speak for itself, feeling confi
dent that its merits are such as will not
fail to bring it into general use; indeed, he
is so sanguine of the efficacy of these Pill,
he does not hesitate to guarantee a cure in
the most aggravated cases.
By following the directions closely
while taking this preparation, its superior
ity over the ordinary tonic Mixtures.
Pills, &c. &.C.J will he readily discovered.
Being purely vegetabe, free from all
foreign deleterious or mineral prepara
tions, these . Pills .may be taken with the
utmost safety under almost any circum
stances. They strengthen the stoma- h,
invigorate the system, and entirely nie-
